The wind and I have a lot in common
It seems we're always in a race with time
We never know just where we're goin'
Or think about what we leave behind

Grass won't grow on a busy street
You can't take the bitter and make it sweet
You can't draw water from a well that's dry
Rain won't fall from a clear blue sky
Grass won't grow on a busy street

Now love will bloom in any season
But I found out some time ago
My heart just beats in one direction
I won't give a true love time to grow

Grass won't grow on a busy street
You can't take the bitter and make it sweet
You can't draw water from a well that's dry
Rain won't fall from a clear blue sky
Grass won't grow on a busy street

I never was a little baby
If you don't believe me, ask my dad
Anything I do, I do it right, boys
When I'm good I'm good, but when I'm bad, I'm bad

Grass won't grow on a busy street
You can't take the bitter and make it sweet
You can't draw water from a well that's dry
Rain won't fall from a clear blue sky
Grass won't grow on a busy street

Grass won't grow on a busy street
You can't take the bitter and make it sweet
You can't draw water from a well that's dry
Rain won't fall from a clear blue sky
Grass won't grow on a busy street
